ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have an interest in many different areas such as linguistics, languages, computers and science.

At wordwork I was involved in the localistation of Windows 95 and Office 97 and I received an insight into working in project groups and meeting deadlines. Some of my duties involved the localisation of the art for the online help and translating help-files.

Through my work with disabled children and adults, I gained experience in mediating and communicating on different levels, dispensing information to staff, teachers, parents and doctors. The work involved responsibility for the well-being of humans and organising people and duties.


ACTIVITIES AND LEISURE
I enjoy art (painting, drawing and clay sculpturing) and handicraft. I enjoy travelling, I have been on two inter-rails in Europe, adventurous tours in Australia and travelled around by car in Ireland. I like listening to music and I play the flute. I enjoy hill-walking and I have a scuba diving certificate.
